    The Yasugi-bushi Entertainment Hall is an exhibition hall for Yasugi-bushi, a folk song adored all across the country, as well as an arts theater for live performance in the hall with gallery seats. There is also a souvenir shop with notable Yasugi products and a restaurant that offers loach cuisine, so there are plenty of ways to enjoy this location. Approximately 15 minutes by car via the Yasugi Interchange on the San-in Expressway.

    島根観光1日目。足立美術館が目的だけど、昼食に名物のを食べようと、どじょう屋さんに行こうとしたら美術館の隣でした。レストランに向かう前にすぐに公演が始まるからと呼び込まれて入りました。ステージはなかなか立派でつづみと三味線、太鼓による演奏と歌い手による民謡。躍りもどじょうすくいだけでなく何種もあり、素人さんではない演芸をしっかり楽しみました...

    Shimane Pref. Goutsushi Arifukuonsenchou
    "This hot spring resort is in the retro spa town ""Arifuku Onsen"" and is where Iwami Kagura theater can be enjoyed. The informative commentary, and powerful, magnificent dance is popular. There is a stage on the first floor of a two-story wooden building that can accommodate 30 people. Because the seats and stage are so close you can enjoy the show up close. You don't want to miss this traditional art form performed by the local Kagura group."

    Shimane Unnan-shi Daitocho Nakayuishi 84
    A cultural facility located a ten-minute drive from Izumo Daito Station. It has a theater holding performances like kagura ritual song and dance and mythological re-enactments, as well as a museum with exhibits related to these performing arts. The second-floor exhibition area with about 100 different kagura masks is remarkable. The facility showcases the changing culture of iron production and mythology of the region cultivated throughout history and immortalized in song. In recent years, it has also acted as a base for local cultural activities, hosting private exhibits and the work of various cultural clubs.

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
